shows where he stands. No man during the past few decades has been made senator In Pennsylvania unless he had the backing of the Pennsylvania and other great railroad systems.
Knox is no exception to the rule and that places him irrevocably in the ranks of the predatory class. Foraker i3 also well known as a Wall street henchman. It was Foraker who fought
so strenuously to defeat any and all reflation of the railroads, who rather would have kept the old way of rebating and drawbacks, the two tricks that have made John D. Rocke
feller a billionaire. No difficulty in showing where he stands. And yet it is a field amon? which an- such men as these that seeks to place the stigma of being Wall street owned, upon Secretary Tuft!

Harrisburg, Pa., May 21. After one of the hardest fights within the party in several years, Pennsylvania democrats in state convention here Wednesday, decided not. to instruct delegates at large to the Denver conven
tion for Bryan. Cheers and catcalls followed. It was a clean-cut victory for the democratic organization, headed by Colonel James M. Guffey, of Pittsburg,
the Pennsylvania member of the nat
ional committee.
Colonel Guffey maintained all alone that he and his friends would control the convention, but their claims were always disputed by the leaders of the leaders of the faction in favor of issuing binding instructions for Wm. J. Bryan. The Bryan men under the leadership of the executive committee of the Bryan Democratic league, had a large following, and they fought to the bitter end. Colonel Guffey and his supporters believed that the fight made to instruct the delegates at large against his advice was more of a contest to depose him as the stats leader than it was a contest in the interest of Bryan.

Miss Lucie Benton of Fountain City is once more in the lead in the exciting Palladium's Niagara Falls and Canadian trip contest. Yesterday, after being shoved back to third place the day previous, she sprinted to the fore rank and now leads her nearest contestant. Miss Ida Beeson of Greensfork, by over fifteen hundred votes. Miss Goldie Myers of Centerville is just a little over one hundred votes back of Miss Beeson. There is a lively scramble for eighth place in the race. This position is now held by Miss Rosa Kuehn of this city, but yesterday by handing in over five thousand votes, Miss Hattie Lashley of Centerville, moved into ninth place and within hailing distance of Miss Kuehn. The regular ballots will appear in each issue, entitling the lady voted for to one vote. Remember you can enter the contest any time you wish to, so "get busy and keep busy." The conditions of the contest are as follows:

THE "FIELD'S" DIRTY TACTICS. In practically every issue of the Indianapolis News and other newspapers published in the interest of the captains of predatory wealth and their candidates, appear articles dealing with the race r for the presidential nomination in which Secretary Taft
is always given the small end of the horn. In last night's News an article
appeared very jnueh favoring the so-
called "field" candidates. Fairbanks
Cannon, Hughes, Knox, La Follette
and Foraker, who were placed in the light of being the peoples' candidates
and Secretary Taft was given, the un
enviable position of being the favorite of the great Wall street interests, who were declared to be working for him Industriously. This is rich, coming as it does from a newspaper devoted to the interests of predatory wealth. It shows that the captains of predatory wealth realize their great unpopularity with the people and are using
that to tag the one candidate they do not wish to see successful in the Chicago convention, trusting that by so doing, the people through their delegates will withdraw their support from Taft and enable one of the "Held" candidates to secure the plum. Taft has always been looked upon as President Roosevelt's favorite and he undoubtedly is. But if that is the case it Is hard to see by what stretch of imagination Wall street can truthfully claim him as iu own man. President Roosevelt, by his unselfish, devotion to the interests of the entire nation, has gained first place In the hearts of the
American people and the everlasting enmity of the Wall street gambling kings. Taft. as his- candidate, therefore could hardly be in league with our financial pirates. On the other hand, picking at random from the field candidates. Cannon, Knox and Foraker are certainly as close to the interests that prer as can be found. During the rresent session of congress. Cannon has sought time and again to have a currency measure passed, the Aldrich bill, that would deliver the country over to Wall street, bound hand and foot. He has killed all prospective legislation in the interest of
Chicago, 111., May 21. Governor John A. Johnson, of Minnesota, in Chicago declares that his friends did better in the Alabama primaries against William J. Bryan that he had expected.
"This fight is not over yet by any means," he said. "Most of the Southern states are to hold their conventions in June, and the settlement of the Denver nomination is a considerable distance off yet. I feel satisfied with the situation generally. "As to the result in Alabama, I never expected to carry the state, and I do not believe Lynch, here, my manager, did. When I was in Washington a few days ago, the Southern men there told me that if I got 30 per cent, of the vote I could consider it a victory. Well, now. I'm told I received 40 per cent, and that means added victory."
A Miraculous Escape. It happened that In the last month of the reign of Charles I. a certain ship chandler of London was foolish enough to busy himself over a barrel of gunpowder with a lighted candle in his hand. He paid the price of his folly. A spark fell into the gunpowder and the place was blown up. The trouble was that the man who did the mischief was not the only cue to perish. Fifty houses were wrecked, and the number of people who were killed was not known. In one house among the fifty a mother had put her baby into Its cradle to sleep before the explosion occurred. What became of the mother no one ever knew, but what became of the baby was very widely known. The next morning there was found upon the leads f the Church of Alihallows a young child in a cradle, baby and cradle being entirely uninjured by the explosion that had lifted both to such a giddy height. It was never learned; who the child was, but she was adopted by a gentleman of the parish and grew to womanhood. She must surely all her life have had a peculiar Interest in that church.

HARDNESS OF DIAMONDS.
Its Acutenes Depends Upon the Size
of the Eyeball. Dr. Alexander Schaefer investigated
the vision of many animal species and
found that the size of the eyeball is
the principal factor of acuteness of
vision. The bovine species has the
sharpest sight The second place is occupied by man and the horse, which
have nearly equal visual powers, the third by the sheep. Small and espe
cially small eyed animals, whether
mammals, birds, amphibia or reptiles, have very poor sight Owls and buzzards are the only birds that ptsess great acuteness of vision. The low positions in the scale occupied by dogs, cats, bats and many fishes which feed upon living prey is contrary to all expectation. In the case of dogs and certain fishes lack of sharpness of vision is due to the great size of the retinal elements. It has long been known that dogs have such Indistinct vision that, as a rule, a dog is not able to recognize his master by sight alone. These results emphasize the distinction between vision of motionless objects and vision of moving objects.
The latter faculty is necessarily keen j
in an animais or prey, a cat is iui:e affected by the sight of motionless objects, but pounces on a Ceelng mouse or a trailed string instantly and with unerring precision. A trout will rise to the most impossible artificial fly If its motion resembles that of a living fly.

Washington, May 21. W. W. IUisseli. United States Minister to Venezuela, called at the state department and made an oral report which indicates that t'ie end of the Castro affair has arrived, so far as this session of congress is concerned. Congress could not see in the correspondence between the two governments sufficient basis for the physical coercion of Castro, and so the matter goes over and will be left in the hands of the president. During the recess of congress, should Castro renew his alleged insolence to the state department, it is likely that the president, of his own volition, would send ships to Venezuela and demand an apology.

Muscles Made Elastic and Temperature Regulated by Moisture. Physiologists tell us that the animal body consists of almost SO per cent of water. Admitting this to be true. It would seem plausible, says the Medical Record, that this quantity is necessary in order to carry on the normal physiological processes of the animal economy in proper condition. For similar reasons it would also appear plausible that should this quanti
ty in any way be greatly reduced or j
diminished, either through normal processes t the body or through abnormal processes, this lost quantity must immediately be resupplied. Should such a withdrawal of water be permitted to be unduly prolonged the disorders will assume such grave dimensions that life Itself may ultimately be terminated. Elasticity and pliability of muscles, nerves, cartilage, tendons and even bones depend mainly on the amount of water they contain. Water also serves as a distributer of bodily heat and regulates the body temperature by the physical process of absorption and elimination. Under normal conditions and In a proper degree of health this supply Is ordinarily furnished partly by the food and partly by the drink we are daily consuming. An overindulgence ln the use of water, provided, it is not carried to excess, will seldom if ever be productive of any deleterious consequences.

The Stones Can Be Forced by Pressure Into Steel Blocks. A word as to the hardness of diamonds. They vary much In this respect Kven different parts of thfl same crystal differ in their resistance to cutting and grinding. So hard is diamond in comparison to giuss that a suitable splinter of diamond will plane curls off a glass plate ns a carpenter's tool will plane shavings off a deal board. Another experiment that will Illustrate its hardness is to place diamond on the flattened end of a conical block of steel and upon II bring another similar cone of steel. It I force them together with hydraulic power. I can force the stone into th steel blocks without injuring the diamond ln the least. The pressure w hich I have brought to bear ln this experi ment has been equal to 170 tons a square Inch of diamond. The only serious rtvnl of the diamond ln hardness is the tnetal tantalum. lu an attempt to bore a hole through a plate of this metal a diamond drili was used, revolviug at the rate of f.,00 revolutions a minute.
